The alternating group of degree 6 is located at the junction of three series of simple non‐commutative groups: simple sporadic groups, alternating groups and simple groups of Lie type. It plays a very special role in the theory of finite groups. We shall study its new roles both in a finite geometry of a certain pentagon in the Leech lattice and also in the complex algebraic geometry of K3 surfaces. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 14J28, 11H06, 20D06, 20D08.
